I do my main exports using code and the csv version follows the cvs rules and
it works great.
Sorry I can’t share the code - it is buried in a contracted project.

Brad,
There have been a couple of “export data” related threads lately that seem to
be having problems with embedded CRs.
Where I have CRs in the data, I save the exported data as csv and that has
always solved that problem for me.
Perhaps there is some reason that is not suitable for you...
if you create a spreadsheet in Excel,
enter a carriage return inside a cell (Alt/option+Enter)
save as TSV, you see CSV-like escape in the resulting file.
e.g.
"A
B"
4D's import dialog or Quick Report doesn't offer this option,
but it is not that difficult to implement.

Can I replace the carr
What are you using to do the export?, 4D export functionality, quick report or
something else?
If you are using 4D export, just change the EOL char to something else, the use
that char as the line delimiter when you open it in Excel. Another option is
to export it in DBF format, then import
Some ideas:
I would question the desirability of an excel file for these data, getting the
data back out of excel will be more than a little fun.
A text file with the LFs replaced with some unique code would be better for
most purposes. Alternatively, you could pick some high ascii codes as

Can I replace the carriage returns in the text fields with a special marker
during export? I could replace the Excel cells containing the any carriage
return markers with actual returns after import.
This is frequently what I need to do:
Replace the CR (13), (10), (11) with "///" or
